"Thank you."

"You're welcome." After she sipped the sweet brew, she looked him in the eye and said, "Are you ready to tell me what is going on?"

After John took a sip of his coffee, he looked her in the eyes, "Are you sure you want to know?"

"Yes, now what is going on?"

John sighed and said, "OK. It all started about six months ago... You've heard about Dawn Marie right?"

"All I heard was that she disappeared three months ago," Alanna lied as she remembered what her source said before he kicked the bucket.

FLASHBACK

"OK," said the man as he looked at her, "you want to know about Dawn Marie correct?"

"Yes I do," said Alanna, "she's Cena's ex, she disappeared around the same time Hart was hired."

"Well, what I am going to tell you, will really help," said the man, "Dawn Marie was not too honest with Mr. Cena."

"What do you mean?"

"Dawn Marie is a married woman."

"She's married?"

"Yes, she changed her last name when she went into the WWE. Since her last name would cause major trouble. Apparently she and her hubby have not been on the best of terms after she found out who he really is. So she decided that and Cena would hook up to really pissed off the husband."

"Big mistake I take it?"

"Bingo, originally she only wanted it to be on-screen, since she knew her husband loved to watch it, but I guess she did not count on the fact that Cena would fall in love with her and she would return the feelings for him. So it went both on and off screen. Well hubby found out about the off screen happenings, and was pissed."

"So he hired Hart to kill Cena."

"And Dawn Marie."

"Dawn too?"

"You see, her husband is does not like his wives to cheat on him. Dawn isn't his first wife. In fact, she's his second wife."

"I take it the first kicked the bucket."

"You know it. When Dawn found out that hubby hired Hart to kill her, she called the FBI, and went into Witness Protection Program."

"That would explain her disappearance." said Alanna, "Did Cena ever find out about Dawn's marriage or why Hart is after him?"

"Please, not even Vince McMahon knew about Dawn's situation. When he a background check he got a fake one for "Dawn Marie Psaltis". He does not know that with his relationship with Dawn Marie, he signed his death warrant."

"OK, here is the million dollar question. Who is Dawn's husband?"

"Are you ready for this?" said the man, "its-" The question was never answered, since her source met his maker when a bullet made a home in the center of his forehead. He fell faster than a ton of bricks.

Alanna jumped lightly and kneel next to him, grabbed her gun and felt for a pulse. "Shit. I'll give your regards to Broadway." She looked around for someone and then noticed a figure on a roof not far from the running the opposite direction. "Damn it. Hart." She left the alley, then at a pay phone she called the cops, then made her way back to where was staying.

END FLASHBACK

"Yeah," said John as he took another sip of his coffee, "well before she disappeared, we were a couple. Both on and off the screen, originally Dawn and I agreed to keep it only on screen. It went good for about two months, but neither one of us expected for love to hit us in the face."

"So it then went both on and off screen?"

"Yeah," said John and he smiled lightly, "it was a perfect relationship. Until about three months ago."

"When she disappeared," said Alanna as she took another sip of her coffee and felt sorry for him when John nodded. "Did she explain to you why she left?"

"No."

"Can you tell me what happened that day?"

"Sure, it all started when I had arrived at the arena" said John as he remembered that day all to well.

FLASHBACK

John Cena was all smiles as he made his way toward his dressing room, since he was looking forward to seeing his girlfriend Dawn Marie. He could not believe how wonderful life was now that he had Dawn Marie in his life. She was everything to him and he loved her so much. He could not wait to see that wonderful smile of hers and to feel her in his embrace. When he opened the door, he saw Dawn quickly packing her bags. "Dawn are you going somewhere?"

Dawn Marie Psaltis looked at him and sighed as she wished she got out of the arena before he came in, since it is going to be harder. "John, listen, I am sorry that I have to do this, but we are over."

John was horrified at this, "What? Why?"

Dawn sighed as she placed the last thing in her bag, "I need to disappear for a while, and it would be better if we are not together, so you can date other women."

She tried to leave, but John grabbed her arm to stop her, "Dawn, I don't want to date other women. I love you and I only want to be with you."

"I know, and I want that too, but for right now," said Dawn, "I need to disappear for while." She kissed him sweetly on the lips, to remember every part of him, she then went to the door.

"Dawn," said John causing her to stop and look at him, "will I ever see you again?"

Dawn smiled lightly, feeling tears forming in her eyes, "I honestly don't know. Goodbye John." She walked out of the dressing room knowing that she did the right thing for the both of them, but at the same time she felt her heart breaking in a million pieces and wondered how long it would be until those pieces could be put back together.

John was shocked at what happened just a couple minutes ago, "Bye Dawn," he finally said and fell to his knees as he began to cry, since he had just lost the love of his life. A few minutes later he got himself up, changed his clothes and got ready for his match, but with a heavy heart.

END FLASHBACK


"And that is what happened," said John as he wiped the tear that came on the corner of his eye. He sipped the last of his coffee and looked at Alanna, he saw that her eyes were full of sympathy.

"I am so sorry John," said Alanna as she took one of his hands, even though her mind was telling her not to. She gave his hand a gently squeeze, which he returned with a light smile. She sighed as she asked the question she was wondering, "so do you know why someone is trying to take your life?"

John sighed as he noticed his cup was empty, "Can I have another cup?" Alanna nodded and poured him another cup. He smiled in thanks, took a sip and then continued. "Not until month before you came to be my manager, the first two times I thought were just accidents."

"The first two times?"

"Yeah, one time one of the crates fell, and the other was a runaway forklift."

"So now you know that someone is after you?"

"Yeah," said John, "the week before you came to the WWE, I found this note that was for Dawn, apparently this is what made her leave in such a hurry and made me realize that someone was out to kill me."

"Do you have it?"

He grabbed his duffel bag and grabbed the note from the pocket and handed it to her, she opened it and read the contents:

"Dear Dawn,

You think you were so clever hooking up with that punk Cena huh? You thought I would not find out about the off screen activities that you two are doing? Ha! You don't know me at all do you? You did not think I would send someone to keep their eyes on you for me. Nice try though. How long did you think you could get away with this? Did you actually think you could marry him? I don't think so, considering you are married to me and there is no way I would give you a divorce.

You made a huge mistake by hooking up with Cena, since now I have to kill the both of you. I can't afford having one of you alive to rat me out to the Feds. So I hired Hart to get rid of ya, you know me Dawn, only the best things for you. I did love you, but you were the one who ruined it all, by not accepting who I was. So since I can't have you, I am going to make sure that no one does.

Enjoy your moments on Earth now, because pretty soon, they ain't going to last long. Rest in Peace Dawn.

Your Loving Husband."

Alanna was a little ticked since it did not say the name of Dawn's husband, but at least Cena knew why there was someone after that. She looked at John as he said, "She was married. It turned out that Psaltis was not her real name, the Dawn Marie I knew, was all a lie. She lied to me the whole time."

"Maybe it was the fact that she wanted to protect you from who she really was. She lied to everyone, including Vince."

"But if she truly loved me, she would have been honest with me."

"I am so sorry John," said Alanna as she sighed, "it must have been hard on you this last couple of months."

"It was at first," said John as he looked at their joined hands, "but then you came along."

Alanna realized where this was going, released his hand, got up from the table and looked out the window. "John there can never be anything between us."

"Why not?"

Alanna was tempted to tell him that she was an FBI agent, but she could not have the heart to do it, "there just can't."

"Why?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes."

Alanna sighed as she poured herself another cup of coffee and sat back down, "All right, I will tell you the truth."
